Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomThe room probably needed redecorating but it was ok. Shower water took a while to drain away too. No big deal though.
Location was great, staff were very kind and allowed us to check in early with a welcome drink. Kindly arranged good value tuk tuks for visiting local attractions. Breakfast was large and extensive.

SingaporePeaceful location tucked away from the main street, but still within walking distance. Only took 5 mins to get to the main street and 10 mins to the railway station. Although, it is a climb to get to the main street once you leave the guesthouse. But it was well worth the stay. Food was great! Do try their curries and local breakfast. Hosts were extremely helpful and welcoming. They were able to help us arrange for transport to the various sights nearby so you need not have to haggle with the tuk tuk riders outside.

United KingdomThe rooms are a bit damp, but they’re clearly trying to manage it and it must be difficult with the humid air. There’s no laundry service despite what it says on booking.com
Incredible view from the terrace, we were given tea on arrival and the hosts were lovely! Very peaceful place. The food is delicious, absolutely recommend eat in the restaurant for both breakfast and dinner! There are lots of walks nearby and it’s very close to the train station.

AustraliaThere is mould evident in the room and a damp smell which is clearly due to the humidity and the weather. It's unavoidable but it's hard not to notice. The wifi was also hit and miss, largely a miss.
Great location close to the railway station. Easy to walk to and from with beautiful balcony views. The room was large as depicted the bathroom was one of the best we had in sri lanka nice hot water. We also ordered a dinner as well and it was well priced and delicious.
